  1. 6. (7 letters) A device that amplifies the force applied to the brake pedal to assist in braking.
  2. 8. (6 letters) A device that detects wheel speed variations and sends signals to the ABS control module to prevent wheel lock-up.
  3. 10. (5 letters) A device used to control the flow of brake fluid within the brake system, such as a proportioning valve or brake pressure regulating valve.
  4. 12. (7 letters) A type of brake booster that uses engine vacuum to assist in brake pedal force.
  5. 14. (7 letters) This device houses the brake pads and applies pressure to the rotor or drum.
  6. 15. (5 letters) Friction materials used in drum brake systems that press against the inner surface of the drum to slow down or stop the vehicle.
  7. 16. (5 letters) The liquid medium used in hydraulic brake systems to transmit force from the master cylinder to the brake calipers or wheel cylinders.
  8. 17. (5 letters) The foot-operated lever that controls the application of brakes in a vehicle.
Down
  1. 1. (9 letters) This type of brake system uses fluid pressure to transfer force from the brake pedal to the braking mechanism.
  2. 2. (6 letters) The primary hydraulic cylinder in a brake system that converts the force applied to the brake pedal into hydraulic pressure to actuate the brakes.
  3. 3. (4 letters) A flat metal plate that is clamped onto by the brake pads to slow down or stop the vehicle.
  4. 4. (8 letters) The force exerted on the brake fluid by the brake pedal or master cylinder in a hydraulic brake system.
  5. 5. (5 letters) A disc-shaped component that rotates with the wheel and is squeezed by the brake pads to slow down or stop the vehicle.
  6. 7. (4 letters) A type of brake system where brake shoes press against the inner surface of a rotating component to slow down or stop the vehicle.
  7. 9. (4 letters) Friction material that comes into contact with the rotor or drum to slow down or stop the vehicle.
  8. 11. (4 letters) A hose or tubing that carries brake fluid between the master cylinder and the brake calipers or wheel cylinders in a hydraulic brake system.
  9. 13. (3 letters) An acronym for a system designed to prevent wheel lock-up during hard braking.
  10. 18. (5 letters) A rigid bar pivoted on a fixed point used to transmit force from the brake pedal to the master cylinder in hydraulic brake systems.
